Most people talk about how their fathers are disciplinarians and hard workers when asked to share fond memories of them. But we seek to change that. We want the Ghanaian to start saying thank you and love you daddy to their fathers as fatherhood is equally as important as motherhood.\u201d<\/p>\n To him, the \u2018Father\u2019s Day Out\u2019 event will propel Father\u2019s Day and make it a celebration no one can ever forget or downplay anymore.<\/p>\n Programmes Manager for Happy FM<\/em>, Elwoode Mantey, asserts the \u2018Father\u2019s Day Out\u2019 event will go down in history books as the event that institutionalised the celebration of fathers in a magnificent manner.<\/p>\n \u201cFathers are barely celebrated and we seek to change that. HD+ and Happy FM<\/em> joined forces to make this Father\u2019s Day event grand and to let fathers know we have not forgotten about them and that we cherish them as much as we do mothers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n He also used the opportunity to thank sponsors, partners and all who turned up to make \u2018Father\u2019s Day Out\u2019 a success.<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Theodore Asampong, CEO of HD+ Ghana\u2019s premium high-definition satellite broadcast service provider, SES HD PLUS and Ghana\u2019s most innovative radio brand, Happy 98.9 FM have celebrated fathers in grand style, pointing out to naysayers that Father\u2019s Day cannot be a pale shadow of other celebrations.
